Context

A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross runs a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors.

It also runs 12 regional health and social training institutes.

As a member of the world’s largest humanitarian network, the French Red Cross employs more than 17,000 people who, through more than 70 professions, put their professionalism at the service of the most vulnerable in medical-educational institutes, day-care centres, retirement homes, functional rehabilitation centres, emergency accommodation centres, training centres, international missions, etc.

Since the start of the conflict, more than 6 million people have fled Ukraine to other countries, while a further estimated 7 million are internally displaced. This level of displacement and disruption has an effect not only on the refugees and IDPs, but also on the host communities and systems called upon to absorb them. With the humanitarian situation in Ukraine deteriorating rapidly, the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has activated all its emergency response mechanisms and has launched a global multiyear plan to support the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS). In coordination with the ICRC, the IFRC and the Partner National Societies present in the country, French Red Cross is opening a delegation in Kiev in order to support more specifically the URCS in the development of its First Aid Department as well as in its Health Activities.
